Davin Ziegler pulled a "Dylan Frye" a couple of weeks ago and bailed on the Falcons.

I get they just scored 95 points so it is tough to find flaws in the offense, but there are still times when this offense gets caught watching LCJ and losing its movement.

Post-game presser-

The Zips head to Bowling Green for a night game this Tuesday. At last, we won't have to sneak a peek at work to watch a weekday game. BG, like Toledo is way ahead in games played, having played 13 games thus far, standing at 10-3 overall and 6-1 in the MAC. Their only MAC loss was a 24 point shellacking at Ball State. Their losses came to Wright State, Michigan and Ball State. They are coming off of a 5 point win at Niagara Falls. After exploring the free agent market in the off-season, All-MAC guard Justin Turner returns to lead BUGS at 21 ppg and 5.3 apg. 6'6" G/F Daeqwon Plowden is also back, averaging 11.3 ppg and 8.8 rpg. Many think BUGS is the class of the league. They were chosen as the top team in the MAC pre-season poll while Turner was named first team All-MAC while Plowden was named to the second team.

Kudos to LCJ for drawing the defense and picking it to a teammate for a three on both the Ali and Dailey threes. With the way he's being defended there needs to be more of that and his teammates have to be ready to step up and make those shots. It seems that the Zips play up or down to the competition but it think it's actually more of a case of a team that's still coming together in this weird damn year.

Whew. Needed that one.

Maishe Dailey!

No Wynn or Currie today.

Toledo ball. Off Freeman.

LCJ should not be on Jackson. Bad matchup and bad switches.

C'mon Zips, have to finish!

Trimble on fire.

He better get used to getting bodied up. That's now the league wide anti-LCJ formula.

Jackie Windon is so good. I'm a little surprised ESPN hasn't moved her up to higher level games.

Now working to undo it. Ugh.

Wow, what a run.

More Garvin Clarke please.

Starting to look "Marcus Keene-like."

Hey Zips, Littleson can shoot the three.

I don't remember Ali being any type of shooter last year. He was timid and looked like he couldn't get rod of the ball fast enough. I think the staff this year has tried to push him out of that timid offensive shell.

I have the same feeling in my stomach that I had as an 11 year old going with my mom to parent-teacher conferences. Misery approaching.

That's a little odd when a good portion of your tape is from practices and JUCO.

Here's a Pittsburgh Gazette article about the carnage this week at Duquesne- https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/duquesne/2021/01/12/duquesne-dukes-basketball-sincere-carry-maceo-austin-keith-dambrot/stories/202101120145 Holy smokes, what a damn mess.

Are we sure that's not Bryant & Stratton? Bryant is going to get in a lot of football this year as they are playing a spring season.
